[Intro]
Baby, baby, baby
You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child
[Verse 1]
You're like Voodoo, baby
You just take hold
Put your cards on the table, baby
Do I twist? Do I fold?
[Verse 2]
You're like Voodoo, honey
All silver and gold
Why don't you tell me my future?
Why don't I sell you my soul?
[Pre-Chorus]
So here it comes, the sound of drums
Here come the drums, here come the drums
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby
You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe, maybe
It's supernatural, I'm coming undone
Baby, baby, baby
You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe, maybe
(It's supernatural, I'm coming undone)
[Verse 3]
You're like Voodoo, baby
Your kisses are cold
Feel your poison running through me
Let me never grow old
[Verse 4]
You're like Voodoo, honey
My pictures you stole
You play me like a puppet
Sticking pins in a doll (Sticking pins in a doll)
[Pre-Chorus]
So here it comes, the sound of drums
Here come the drums, here come the drums
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby
You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe, maybe
It's supernatural, I'm coming undone
Baby, baby, baby
You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe, maybe
(It's supernatural, I'm coming undone)
[Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus]
Here come the drums, here come the drums
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby
You are my voodoo child, my voodoo child
Don't say maybe, maybe
It's supernatural, I'm coming undone
[Outro]
Baby, baby, baby
You just take hold
Don't say maybe, maybe
Do I twist? Do I fold?

The Sex Pistols were the biggest influence for Voodoo Child. But it’s not so much a musical influence as the attitude they had. The Sex Pistols were really about energy. It’s exciting to listen to them. It’s immediate music.> – James Ash
